Abstract

A direct catalytic amination of allylic alcohols without the use of activating reagents is promoted by the combination of platinum and the large bite-angle ligand DPEphos. The use of the DPEphos ligand was essential for obtaining high catalyst activity and high monoallylation selectivity of primary amines, allowing the formation of various monoallylated products in good yield.
